Big scrolls?!

[Jörmungandr]

Well, this is what has been stealing time from me learning how to engrave, but at least I'm inspired! Did a rough scroll pattern on the sheath.

Damasteel Nylund blade, masur birch handle with tin and vulcan spacers. I do not know how to translate what we call the leather. In Swedish it's "rårandsläder" which translates to "raw stripe leather". Basically, it's real hard, tap the sheath and it'll make a clocking sound. And when one put the knife into the sheath it snaps clearly.

Made it for my fathers 60th birthday. Hope you enjoy, all comments are welcome!

That is a real classic-Very nice work. Is the overall style native, like Lap?-Fred

Thanks alot for the kind words kfil and Fred!

The style is.. Swedish, I think, or at least the style commenly used in Sweden, probably not very traditional though. A lapp knife usually use horn in the handle and lower part of the sheath and also use a different kind of leather if I remember correctly. Most sapmi art use alot of antler and engrave them beautifully.

So I guess it could be called a Scandinavian knife .
